I see you've created a new article about [[PNF-404's asteroid]]. This article is really well-written, and I can tell you've put a lot of effort into it, but unfortunately, I don't think it really fits on Pikipedia. Much of the article is speculative (particularly in the ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'' sections), and it seems to attribute too much plot significance to something that's fairly minor, especially in the ''Pikmin 2'' section. Really, all these crashes could better be attributed to the fact that something is up with PNF-404 in general, and in this case, that could just be documented on the [[PNF-404]] article. But that's just my opinion.

:Thank you :) I think it's useful because it's solely responsible for most of the plot movement in every game apart from ''Pikmin 2'' (P1? All. P3? Until you find Charlie. P4? Until you find Olimar, and then you still have the castaways to find until the end. HP? All). The fact that almost every game has '''a''' crash landing caused by this foreign object, let alone around 50 of them now makes me think it warrants an article for inclusion, minor or not. It may be speculative for ''Pikmin 3'', but it is kind of obvious what the culprit is for that crash, isn't it? Their actual presence in ''Pikmin 4'' also suggests what happened when castaways entered the planet's orbit (like a nudge nudge, wink wink moment), so I don't think that is speculative. I think it is just nice to have this article to outline this weird phenomenon. — [[User:Kettleonwater|Kettleonwater]] ([[User talk:Kettleonwater|talk]]) 23:07, September 2, 2023 (EDT) | :Thank you :) I think it's useful because it's solely responsible for most of the plot movement in every game apart from ''Pikmin 2'' (P1?

Personally I think it’s way too speculative (although well-written). In P3 and P4, it’s never explicitly stated what caused the crash (and barely hinted to be one object, P3 frames it as a technical malfunction and P4 says nothing), so covering those as if it was an asteroid is too speculative for the wiki. Also, it’s hugely unlikely that it’s the same body each time, as a post-human world would have a whole ton of space junk floating about up there, any of which could be the cause. This would be a good article to put as a userpage subpage, and then you can link out to it (not within the wiki, mind you) when you want to show somebody all the known info on debris orbiting PNF-404.

PNF-404's asteroid
I see you've created a new article about PNF-404's asteroid. This article is really well-written, and I can tell you've put a lot of effort into it, but unfortunately, I don't think it really fits on Pikipedia. Much of the article is speculative (particularly in the Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4 sections), and it seems to attribute too much plot significance to something that's fairly minor, especially in the Pikmin 2 section. Really, all these crashes could better be attributed to the fact that something is up with PNF-404 in general, and in this case, that could just be documented on the PNF-404 article. But that's just my opinion. Why do you think an article on PNF-404's asteroid is useful? — Soprano(talk) 22:50, September 2, 2023 (EDT)
- Thank you :) I think it's useful because it's solely responsible for most of the plot movement in every game apart from Pikmin 2 (P1? All. P3? Until you find Charlie. P4? Until you find Olimar, and then you still have the castaways to find until the end. HP? All). The fact that almost every game has a crash landing caused by this foreign object, let alone around 50 of them now makes me think it warrants an article for inclusion, minor or not. It may be speculative for Pikmin 3, but it is kind of obvious what the culprit is for that crash, isn't it? Their actual presence in Pikmin 4 also suggests what happened when castaways entered the planet's orbit (like a nudge nudge, wink wink moment), so I don't think that is speculative. I think it is just nice to have this article to outline this weird phenomenon. — Kettleonwater (talk) 23:07, September 2, 2023 (EDT)
